Hi,

I want to buy a new hdd.

Well but i am having some doubt:

1.is it true that higher RPM HDD like the WDC raptor will make the gaming better.

2.Will the the other thing i.e application such as photoshop etc. will also get benefit from raptor.

3.Now i am having 160Gb WDC sata 2 hdd, should i keep this or setup a raid 0 with another 160 gb

4.wht is the cost of a 80gb raptor.

plz help & give any suggestion on hoe to setup my hdd i mean which hdd,raid 0 etc.

YEP, by 5 to 10%

NOT AS MUCH AS CPU SPEED

better to get another hdd and clone it from time to time then RAID it, just my opinion
